Definitions

  • This invention relates to the packaging of desserts and, more particularly, to the packaging of ice cream, ices, sorbets or the like comprising a coating syrup.
  • the present trend in the field of desserts is to provide the consumer with a ready-made product, for example an ice-cream cake with coating syrup which may be directly prepared by removal from the mould used for packaging.
  • One-piece packs have also been proposed, comprising a first compartment which receives the ice cream and a second compartment which contains the syrup.
  • these known packs generally contain individual portions.
  • the present invention provides a mould for packaging desserts, particularly for ice-cream cake with coating syrup, in the form of a cup comprising an opening through which the dessert is introduced into and removed from the mould, the mould comprising a first compartment near the opening which defines a first space and which is intended to a receive a product solid at the storage temperature and a second compartment which defines a second space below the first space and which is intended to receive a syrup liquid at the storage temperature, the second compartment comprising several cells distributed in the base of the cup, each of the cells communicating through an opening with the first compartment and being separated from the other cells by walls simultaneously acting as stiffeners for the mould.
  • the first compartment is provided with a ledge which surrounds the various openings establishing communication with the second compartment and which is parallel to the edge of the opening of the cup.
  • the side wall of the cup is corrugated and comprises from six to twelve festoons, whilst the second compartment comprises a cylindrical central cell and six to twelve cells which are distributed around the periphery of the central cell and of which the shape matches that of the lateral festoons.
  • the base of the mould is made up of a number of cells separated by stiffeners which also form partitions between the cells.
  • the mould has a diameter at the level of the opening of from 120 to 170 mm, the syrup pockets preferably measure from 10 to 25 mm, the volume of ice cream is from 750 to 1200 ml, whilst the volume of syrup is from 75 to 150 ml, and the central cell may contain from 10% to 20% of the total volume of syrup.
  • the mould according to the invention may be used for all kinds of products made in moulds other than ice cream, such as caramel puddings, semolina pudding, rice pudding, jellies with syrup or mousses with syrup etc.
  • the mould is best made of a plastics material. It is possible to use any heat-formable food-grade plastics material, such as for example polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc.
  • the material used should be of such thickness that it is sufficiently rigid whilst, at the same time, having the flexibility required to facilitate removal from the mould. In addition, it should be capable of withstanding prolonged storage at low temperatures.
  • FIG. 1 is a semi-plan view
  • FIG. 2 is a semi-elevation
  • FIG. 3 is a semi-isometric projection of the mould.
  • the pack according to the invention comprises a first compartment 1 of which the side wall is provided with festoons 2 and the widest part with a base 3.
  • the first compartment is provided with a ledge 4 and is intended to receive that part of the dessert which is solid at the storage temperature, for example the ice cream.
  • the mould comprises a second compartment 5 which is intended to receive that part of the dessert which is liquid at the storage temperature, for example the coating syrup.
  • This second compartment is made up of cells 6 arranged in a circle around a central cell 7. These cells are separated from one another by walls 8 which act as stiffeners for the base of the mould.
  • the mould may be made in one piece of a thermoplastic material by forming or extrusion or, in the case of aluminium, by stamping.
  • a syrup which has a consistency sufficient not to cause any flow problems during storage and transport, for example at -20° C., but which has to be capable of re-assuming a suitable fluidity at the moment of use by heating for a sufficiently short period not to cause the underlying ice cream to melt, is poured into the cells 6 and 7 at the bottom of the mould with its opening facing upwards up to the level of the ledge 4.
  • the syrup may be either a mixture of fruit juice and sugar or a caramel or even a flavoured syrup, for example a coffee-flavoured or chocolate-flavoured syrup, of suitable viscosity.
  • the mould is then directed towards a filling station which introduces the ice cream into the first compartment 1.
  • ice cream water ice, mousse or any suitable type of cream. Where several types are present, they may be arranged either in the form of superposed layers or in the form of concentric rings or in the form of radial sections.
  • the mould is inverted and heated so that the ice cream detaches itself from the mould and the coating syrup flows along its sides, for example on a plate.
  • the product accommodated in the first compartment is not frozen or has a certain plasticity, for example in the case of a pudding, it may be removed from the mould by simple deformation of the mould.
